Christine | 2061 comments I have added a book by an author called "Sonne" (and only "Sonne") at the request of a user:

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

There are several other books by one or more authors of this name, but they are not identical with the Sonne of the newly added book. Is there a way to disambiguate the profiles?

Thanks a lot for any help.

This does not require a Superlibrarian. The answer is in the Librarian Manual.

When separating single name authors, an alternative is to separate the author's books from the default profile by adding a space followed by a period to the author name.

Example:

Catherine^.

Catherine^^.

^ indicates space
